This week, Steph and Holly are joined by their biggest guest yet: their dad, Bobby Davey!

Fresh from a RedBalloon horse-riding experience, Bobby finally sits down to clear up some of the Davey family’s most legendary stories. He reveals what really happened when their family home burnt down, defends the perfectly cooked chicken he found in the wreckage and takes us back to the day a shark warning left Uncle Bushpig stranded in the ocean.

Later, Bobby joins the girls for The Letterbox, Confessions and an especially loose Sealed Section. He weighs in on intimidating dads, broken lawnmowers, catching your daughter with her boyfriend and whether you should ever ask a mate to perform your prostate exam.

It starts with a wholesome Father’s Day experience and somehow ends with Bobby describing a visit to a pelvic floor specialist. A true Girls Next Door family special.
